Recovery

So I went to bed last night feeling like I would wake up feeling worse this morning...lucky for me that didn't happen! My stomach was in bad shape last night, but it cheered up today :)


In the October issue of Women's Health they talk about power food couples. I learnt that sweet potatoes and chicken, together, are a power couple for a stronger immune system; this is very interesting for someone feeling under the weather! Also, interesting is that I ate both last night. Is this what helped improve my sickness overnight?! Let's hope so!

I still have a liiiittle case of the sniffles...good thing there's kleenex! Even though my throat no longer hurts, I'm on the liquid kick. So I made a homemade chai tea latte using this amazing almond milk:


1/2 cup of steamed almond milk with 1/2 cup of steeped chai tea = perfection. Just add a sprinkle of cinnamon on top and you're all set!

(PS - Eeyore cup makes it that much better!)

My stomach is still a little touchy, so I've been pretty careful about what I'm eating and how much I'm eating. I decided to keep it light for lunch and have a salad with beets and goat cheese. Mmm!


Now, I think I'll brave it and go for a run!!! Since I'm kinda sniffly, I'll bring plenty of kleenex!!

I still have to put together my goals for this week, and maybe even carry some over from last wee (oops!). When the hubby is back from golfing, we'll work on our goals together!!

Hmmm...now just to come up with an idea for dinner!!
